I’ve been re-watching the old Sagan’s COSMOS tv series. He couldn’t accept the validity of the UFO phenomenon because, for someone like him, the behavior displayed by the UFOnauts in CE reports was totally the opposite of what an extra-terrestrial civilization would conduct a survey of our planet. In a sense, he got that right.

But what people like Sagan or Shostak can even entertain, is that the very trickster nature of the phenomenon has a very definite effect in our society. It pushes our civilization, and the fact that it’s not taken seriously by the status-quo (or at least that’s how they publicly behave!) is the root of their influence.

Like the old saying goes: the best trick the devil ever pulled was convince the world that he doesn’t exist.
